„Welcome to our website!
You’ve come to the right place if You or Your company is involved in, or has been a victim of, an economic crime. Over the past ten years, we have served nearly a thousand clients, so we understand the pressure you are under. Just like a doctor, a lawyer works not only to resolve the matter but also to ease your burden through expertise. Our task is to understand Your case and find the most favorable solution. You remain in control, but we set the direction, build the strategy, and apply the tools of professional defense to fit your needs.
The role of a defense attorney is built on trust — but the lawyer’s expertise can influence years, lives, families, and relationships, so choosing the right one requires careful consideration. Your first consultation with us is always free. Afterwards, we will send you a written fee proposal, and if you accept, we will sign a legal services agreement and enter your case. Feel free to explore our site, read the related materials, and get informed. We look forward to hearing from You!”
„Welcome to our website!
We have built one of Hungary’s largest law firms specializing in economic criminal law. Our partners include several highly experienced attorneys, former senior prosecutors, and myself — a former criminal judge for nearly 25 years. Our great advantage is that we know the inner workings of every branch of the justice system, enabling us to design defense strategies with precision and efficiency.
We work as a team — three to four of our colleagues handle each case. With five offices already operating nationwide, we have centralized our document drafting, ensuring that complaints, submissions, and closing arguments are prepared according to uniform professional standards. This guarantees consistent quality for all our clients. And perhaps most importantly, we have the capacity — with 35–40 subcontracted attorneys, we can be present for extensive procedural actions anywhere in the country to protect you and your company.”
Corporate Criminal Law
For business leaders managing multiple companies, criminal risks can arise from many directions — customer theft, employee misconduct, supplier fraud, or sudden enforcement actions against your company or executives.
When a search, asset freeze, or detention hits without warning, operations stop and crisis management begins. Quick, informed action is critical — every statement or step can have lasting consequences.
We provide rapid, nationwide legal response, ensuring coordinated defense across all entities you manage. Our team combines sector-independent strategies, efficient document handling, and on-site presence anywhere in Hungary to protect Your companies, leadership, and reputation.
Defense in Budgetary Fraud Cases
Budgetary fraud involves causing financial loss to the state budget — for example, through unpaid taxes, misuse of subsidies, or fraudulent claims. Despite modern systems like the NAV Online Invoice platform, such cases are increasing every year.
These cases are among the most complex in criminal law, often involving extensive investigations, document seizures, and even arrests. The stakes are high, as the amounts in question can lead to severe penalties. However, with the right legal expertise and resources, they can be effectively managed.
Our team specializes in defending clients in budgetary fraud cases, combining deep knowledge of tax law with strategic defense planning to protect your interests from the very first step.
Defense in Money Laundering Cases
Money laundering is any activity designed to make assets obtained through crime appear legitimate. It can involve concealing the origin of funds, transforming assets, preventing confiscation, or dealing with assets from crimes committed by others.
In today’s digital world — with online company formation, global banking, and new asset types like cryptocurrencies — offenders often launder their own proceeds, making detection more difficult. Hungarian law now allows prosecution of the original offender for money laundering, and in aggravated cases (such as organized crime) penalties can be as high as 20 years in prison.
Our firm has the expertise to defend clients in all forms of money laundering cases, from asset concealment to complex international transactions, ensuring your rights are protected at every stage.
Defense in Economic Crimes
Defending against economic crimes is very different from general criminal defense, as these cases involve many specific features not typically found in crimes against life, physical integrity, or other offenses. Economic crimes often stem from expert findings — usually as a result of tax or accounting consequences. For this reason, tax law and economic criminal law expertise play a central role in the defense. We have these qualifications — our team consists of highly trained professionals, including lawyers, former prosecutors, and judges.
